The little yellow guy and the twins shouted across to say that they had found a way in.
Somebody had left a ladder up.
The little yellow pirate ninja volunteered to go and investigate and see if he could open the main gate.

We made our way toward what looked like the main building within the castle. It was covered in thick cobwebs. Couldn't see anyone about.
The others split up to search the castle grounds.
I was getting a bad vibe about this place.

It was Draclia! And he had a Crabman and a Killer Klown with him.
He told us he had been waiting for us. We told him that there was more of us now and that if we beat him once, we could beat him and his handful of zombies again.

Zombies! Loads of them. All the different types of zombie you could imagine.
It's almost as if Draclia had spent all of his time amassing loads of zombies since we last saw him.
There were hillbilly zombies, radio-active zombies, moon-zombies, police zombies. All sorts.

They were all zombies though. No sign of what the other surprises might be. Unless he expected us to be surprised by radio-active zombies.

There were a lot of zombies. Definitely more than last time. It got me to wondering what the collective noun for zombies might be. "Horde" would seem the obvious choice but I would imagine that if zombies were around during the Victorian era, they would have given it a quirkier name like "Shuffle".
A shuffle of zombies.

Draclia continued to summon additional monsters out of the castle and they came out like some sort of horror show fashion parade:
A zombie cheerleader, zombie businessman, a skellington and a Baron Samedi and his zombie bride...

...MegaFly!
A monstrous The Fly creature appeared from the castle building.
We were definitely in trouble. We didn't have a plan for this many monsters and zombies, and certainly not anything this big!
